wow. this was so... disappointing
for the past week, the weather people on the local channels have been talking about the arctic air that was supposed to push all the way down into the South. color me all excited about that. the colder it is, the happier this bitch is. one of the challenges to my Midwesterner childhood is the fact that not everyone loves snow and cold the way i do. and not every state is subject to the same rules of winter weather that my beloved home state is. including the one i now live in. so when they started talking snow, anywhere from two to five inches, the five year old girl who lives inside of me was jumping up and down for joy. okay, so the rest of me was, too. the grown and the not so grown part of me were saying "Bring it on!"
i should know better than to get my hopes up. honestly.
oh, it snowed. for two or three hours. enough to leave a dusting of white on the ground and on cars, on roof tops and in the leaves that are still on the trees. no. i'm not kidding about that. then it stopped snowing and everything melted away. woo?
to top it off, the fucking sun came out!
overnight, though, we got a very small dusting of snow that i had to brush off the car before taking spawn to school. that Buick of mine, she's a real trooper. though lows in the upper 20s is hardly the same as single digit or below zero temps, that's pretty damn cold for this part of the country. she turned over first time. in fact, i think she was eager to go out and eat up some road. while she may not be as big as the truck, she's a real go getter. i do love my car.
this morning, there's a possibility of some freezing rain. think we'll get that? i doubt it.
but i did take a few moments to pop outside yesterday and snap a few pics of the big, fluffy fat flakes that were coming down. i'll be so kind as to share them. cos i know you all want to see more snow. (and yes, i know i got excited about almost nothing. but there's so little in my life that really excites me anymore. deal with it. i just wish it had been more. :( and yes. i realize that its hard to actually see the snow. trust me. its there.)
if you look against the leaves, you can see the snow falling. its kind of a white smudgy blur, though
again, white smudgy blur here. but you can see some snow on the car's windshield
i think its easier to see it here, especially against the trees. and there's some on the ground, though hardly enough to be worth while.
a closer look at the cars across the way. and you can see bits of white on the leaves of the bushes, too.
there's the excitement that is my life. how sad is that?
